Advances in Selective Photocatalytic Oxidation of <i>p</i>-Xylene to Terephthalic Acid as a Sustainable Route: A Short Review on Photocatalyst Formulation and Related Reaction Mechanisms

Advances in Selective Photocatalytic Oxidation of <i>p</i>-Xylene to Terephthalic Acid as a Sustainable Route: A Short Review on Photocatalyst Formulation and Related Reaction Mechanisms

This review examines the production of terephthalic acid via the oxidation of <i>p</i>-xylene, comparing catalytic and photocatalytic approaches. The commercial AMOCO process employs a cobalt/manganese/bromide catalyst system but requires harsh conditions, including high temperatures and...
